What is the difference between a gestational carrier and a traditional surrogate?
New Beginnings Surrogacy Services exclusively facilitates gestational surrogacy services as recommended by the Society of Assisted Reproductive Medicine and in accordance with US Federal Guidelines. Gestational Surrogacy is when intended parents use their own eggs or donor eggs and their own sperm or donor sperm to create embryos through IVF. The resulting embryo is transferred into a surrogate’s uterus, who then will carry the baby to term. A gestational surrogate has no biological relationship to the baby and the intended parents assume all legal parental rights upon delivery. You may use your own surrogate instead of going through the matching process. This is a great option for those looking to use a friend, family member, or other options for their surrogate mother. Although you can use your own surrogate, she must pass our extensive surrogate screening process before moving forward with a contractual agreement covering the embryo transfer procedure. We will help you be sure your surrogate meets all requirements and will help guide you, and her, through the surrogacy journey. Traditional Surrogacy is performed by artificially inseminating a surrogate mother using her own eggs, which have been fertilized by the intended father’s sperm or donated sperm. In this surrogacy process, the surrogate has a biological connection to the baby. Traditional surrogacy is not widely practiced in the United States due to common legal and emotional complications after the baby is born. New Beginnings does not provide traditional surrogacy services.Things to consider when choosing a surrogate mother
